iran: how to avoid war?The crisis over Iran’s nuclear plans is escalating. openDemocracy writers think through the alternatives to war and how they might be made to work.
A more pragmatic United States approach, a more coherent security council, and active mediation by Europe – three key ingredients to unlock the Iran problem, says Jan De Pauw.
A United States attack would set back reform a generation, says Nasrin Alavi, author of "We Are Iran" – for Iranians can do it for themselves.
Iranian-Americans oppose any United States military attack on their motherland. Such action, writes David Rahni, would be catastrophic for both Iran and the US's global reputation.
Iranians' traditional attitudes to Arabs and the west are being supplemented by a growing regional confidence, says Hazem Saghieh.
How can the crisis over Iran be resolved without resort to violence? Scilla Elworthy looks at the possibilities for creative action at citizen level.
The Tehran regime's fiery rhetoric and strategic ambitions impact strongly on its Arab neighbours, explains Raymond Barrett in Kuwait.
The tension between the Bush administration’s two objectives in Iran – non-proliferation and regime change – makes it likely that neither will be met, says Trita Parsi.
In order to resolve the international crisis involving the Tehran regime's nuclear plans, the United Nations security council should invoke the UN charter and suspend Iran, says Mary Walsh.
The hardliners in Washington and Tehran are on a path that could lead to war. There is another way, says Kaveh Ehsani.
